The best 2026 Prime Day deal might already be live – Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 just dropped to the best price ever at $179 shipped. 

Amazon officially announced the 2026 Prime Day start time yesterday and the early deals are now live. We very much expect more early discounts to land this week and next in the lead up to Prime Day 2026, but there are already deep discounts on networking gear, Kindle accessories, and up to 50% off Ring smart home bundles, AirPods Pro 3, and Google gear, plus more. 

Nintendo hosted its big summer Nintendo Direct presentation this week and it was…good. Not great, but good. I think the bevy of Nintendo leaks that have hit this year dulled the experience significantly for many folks, myself included, Nintendo stock has taken a bit of nose dive because of it, and more importantly, there’s more than a few gamers that walked away from the presentation far less excited than they should have been. So what’s next from Nintendo: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time limited edition Switch 2 console? A proper influx of major Game Cube titles? Is there one more surprise 2026 game release? 

Father’s Day is quickly approaching and if you’re looking to blow Dad’s mind this year, the Apple deals have arrived. Apple gear can be expensive – we all know this – but there are some seriously notable discounts live right now, not the least of which has AirPods Pro 3 sitting down at the best price ever. We also have the latest Apple Watch models starting at $219, iPad from $299, Beats headphones and buds from $45, and much more to check out down below.

Dad’s big day is quickly approaching, and it’s time to take a look at some gift ideas Dad will actually like. Whether it’s some new Beats headphones or earbuds while they are up to $190 off at Best Buy, some sweet Carharrt gear, some upgrades for Dad’s gaming battlestation, or ways to upgrade his wrist fashion, we have put together a collection of pickups we are eyeing for our Dads this year down below to help out.

Insta360’s growing camera lineup now has a new addition in the form of Luna Ultra – an 8K handheld stabilized camera. This particular model originally launched in China, but it’s now up for grabs as a solid alternative to DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P – both of which aren’t sold in the US. The new Insta360 Luna Ultra, on the other hand, is readily available for $769.99 shipped through Insta360’s online store and other retailers, including Amazon, B&H, and Best Buy. Head below for a closer look and more details.

Logitech is adding a new portable mouse to its lineup called Mobi Fold, which is a compact wireless model that literally folds in half when you’re done using it. It’s one of the smallest mice in Logitech’s lineup, yet it offers all the essentials to serve as a solid replacement for your laptop’s trackpad. The new Mobi Fold is great for travelers and anyone working on the go, and it’s now available for $79.99 shipped. You can grab one in Sand, Off White, Graphite, and Lilac finishes, and you’ll find more details.

Here we go! It’s a big day for fans of the Mushroom Kingdom and Hylian heroes everywhere as Nintendo is set to livestream the big summer Nintendo Direct we have all been waiting for, and it all goes live this morning. 

Nintendo went live this morning with its big summer Direct, and even if all you were waiting for was a big Zelda reveal, it did not disappoint. While we still haven’t received the release date for the new Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake remake yet (it is coming this year though), Nintendo’s new Star Fox game is definitely releasing in a just couple weeks now, and you can try it for FREE on Switch 2 starting right now. 

UGREEN’s new lineup of Nexode Air chargers has managed to stand out in the market with its compact design – and how! We took a look at the brand’s 65W Nexode Air ultra-mini USB-C GaN charger a few weeks back, and we’re now checking out the ultra-slim 45W Nexode Air model. This is easily the slimmest charger I have in my EDC right now, and it’s compact enough to slip into just about any of my pockets or bags. While it doesn’t quite match the 65W charging speeds of the other variant I tested earlier, I’ve found myself reaching for this slimmer one more often over the past few weeks simply because it’s so easy to carry around. Head below for a closer look and more details.

Nomad is expanding its stellar orange accessory lineup today to match your Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro. Earlier this year it debuted its new Stellar 240W USB-C ChargeKey tool, and today it is bringing its vibrant orange treatment to its Tracking Card Pro with Find My and its Qi2 25W Stand One MagSafe charger with some launch promotions. Details below. 

If you’re looking to score yourself a new MacBook Neo for the summer, or perhaps even score one for Dad, you’ll certainly want to consider the Amazon listings over going straight to Apple. Not only is Amazon is charging $10 less on the already affordable new 2026 MacBook, but Apple is still listing many of these models as taking as long as 2 weeks to arrive – it might not arrive in time for Dad’s big day. 

After waiting, more or less, a full year for Nintendo to host a major Nintendo Direct for Switch 2, the day has finally arrived. Yesterday Nintendo made it official – it is hosting a full-on 2026 summer Nintendo Direct and it goes live today.

The massive summer Xbox Games Showcase is live today folks. While Xbox has already confirmed that Project Helix (its next-generation console) will not be making an appearance in any significant way today, that means it’s going to be all about the games, and what sounds like a lot of them.

This weekend’s top Apple deals are headlined by some of the better AirPods price drops of the year with AirPods Pro 3 at $50 off, nearly 25% off AirPods 4, and a new all-time low on the 2026 AirPods Max 2. Those offers also sit alongside the first notable price drops at Amazon on iPhone 17 Pro, an ongoing $149 discount on iPhone Air, and Apple Watch deals from $219. Scope all of those out below alongside some accessory deals from $7.50.

We are in the midst of the big summer game showcases now and next up is quite possibly the biggest of them all, Summer Game Fest 2026. 

Sony first unveiled its PlayStation monitor late last year, and it’s now finally available for pre-order. You can reserve one through Best Buy or the PlayStation Store for $349.99 shipped, with orders currently scheduled to begin shipping on August 8, 2026. This, in case you’re wondering, is Sony’s first gaming monitor to carry the PlayStation branding, making it a notable release for those already invested in the PS5 ecosystem. While there’s still some time before it officially launches, you might want to jump in now to avoid potential shipping delays or limited availability around launch. Head below for a closer look and more details.

Nintendo historically hosts a big Direct in June, but last year things were seemingly shifted because of the Switch 2 launch and this left expectations up in the air for 2026. However, industry insiders claimed we were getting something along those lines this month, and one of them just doubled down to confirm/leak the date. 

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to remain excited about SSDs these days, thanks to rising prices driven by industry-wide hikes and ongoing memory shortages. That’s exactly why I believe drives like the ORICO iFolder Go feel like a breath of fresh air in a market that doesn’t offer much to get excited about lately. This SSD, as you can probably tell, sports a very unconventional design that looks nothing like the external drives we’re used to seeing. It’s easily among the most unique SSDs in my stash. But is there more to it than just good looks? Does it actually deliver the performance to back up its unique design? Head below to find out.

June 2026 will feature the biggest sale events on the internet so far this year. While we historically have to wait until early/mid-July for the massive half year sale events, Amazon has pushed the schedule early this year and it appears as though just about all of the major retailers are following suit. 

Just after Nintendo teased all-new official LEGO Donkey Kong sets, Nintendo announced the classic Donkey Kong 64 for Switch Online, and that day is here. The 1999 release is now live and playable in the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics library for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members. 

The summer PlayStation State of Play showcase goes live today. We get more than a few State of Play broadcasts per year, but none quite as big as the big June show, and it all starts very soon. 

After the launch of the official Animal Crossing collection, and those insanely ridiculous LEGO clogs, Nintendo has announced Crocs are coming to the Mushroom Kingdom. 

Amazon has now officially revealed the start for this year’s 2026 Prime Day event, alongside some teasers for the upcoming deals and the launch of the early discounts you can find right here. However, joining the thousands of discounts on the horizon, Prime members will also be privy to some pizza deals – five large pizzas for just $5 each to be exact. 

We’re still less than two days into LEGO’s release of the newest 118 sets and The LEGO Group isn’t waiting to unveil what may just be one of the biggest news of the month (and summer) for builders. The partnership between The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company already gave us three sets that stirred up tons of excitement, but now, the veil is lifting off a collection of 13 new SMART Play Pokémon sets – and you can secure yours now with pre-order purchases ahead of the upcoming release date. Head below to get a rundown on what you can expect, as well as check out all the collected photos.

I’ve been a fan of Navee’s electric scooters since I first went hands-on with the feature-packed ST3 Pro Electric Scooter last summer. I came away from the experience highly impressed, and even declared that, as a long-time Segway rider, the popular brand has a challenger with that series. This year, Navee has really stepped up its game and challenged Segway’s newest SuperScooter with its own supercar-inspired UT5 Ultra X Electric SuperScooter that sports monstrous dual-motor power, insane speeds, a 75-mile travel range, all the smart features you could want, and more. It’s truly a thrill-seeker’s delight, and looks as premium with its golden colorway, not to mention while carrying NBA legend Kevin Garnett’s signature/seal of approval. Head below to learn all about what it brings to rides and to get my hands-on impression of the most high-end e-scooter I have ever hopped on.

Nintendo surprised just about everyone last moth with a dedicated Star Fox Direct showcase out of nowhere. The new Switch 2 cinematic remake of the N64 game is officially set for release on June 25 and Nintendo has just unleashed a new Overview Trailer via the Nintendo Today app. 

Well, it’s that time of year folks. The time of year when Amazon officially reveals Prime Day 2026, Best Buy goes all-in with a massive tech sale of its own, and now Target is making its giant summer sale official too.

Amazon has now officially confirmed the start time and dates for the 4-day 2026 Prime Day sale. 

One of the staples of America’s e-bike market, Juiced Bikes, is officially back from the dead, thanks to Lectric’s 11th-hour save during 2024’s financial turmoil, and it’s kicking off its rebirth with the launch of two new e-bikes! You can now score the Scrambler Moto-Style Hardtail e-bike at $1,699 shipped, while the Scrambler Moto-Style Full Suspension e-bike sits a little higher at $1,899 shipped – and both models come with a $245 bundle of FREE gear. These new rides seem to be following the usual Lectric playbook of offering discounts on the bundled gear rather than the e-bikes themselves, with these bundles including a personalized nameplate, a headplate, a bar bag, a bar pad, a fender set, and a sticker pack.
